What exactly is eating well artvark?
I've just gone through two huge bags of chocolate easter eggs from Costco over the past month. I'm in an emotional spiral, although functioning....and not flaring yet. I've not upped my meds and only on maintenance. It's not a food issue.
Some of us have disease that may never spread....others have had theirs spread regardless of medications, be them topical or immumo-related types.
I was diagnosed 25 years ago and on meds from early on. My disease has never been as it was at diagnosis regarding location. But, in saying this, some of my c-scope biopsies did indicate extremely mild inflammation at a cellular level throughout my colon, -- not visually, but never became anything other than that. Now I conclude two things...... consistent medications kept things at bay or I had a mild bug of some kind previously that the meds and probiotics were dealing with and I had no notice of it happening at all.
It's possible that if I wasn't on UC meds consistently that my UC would have spread, especially if there ws something causing the inflammation initially.
I don't think you'll find your answers with secure acceptance. There are many factors subjectively.
